The barcode field is not cleared/incremented properly when using the "Add and
Duplicate" option. Rather it is pre-populated with the previously used barcode
which causes additem.pl to return a duplicate barcode error if the cataloger
does not catch the mistake.

The problem is caused by the fact that the current item record is simply
duplicated and re-loaded into the form.

The solution is to add code which either pre-populates with the next barcode
number if the incremental pattern is set or clears the p subfield if one of the
various patterns using the javascript plugin is selected.

A pull request with an implementation of this will follow.
